You can't truly become a developer if you can't build your own stuff. Theory and foundations are important, but you also need to be able to fly solo.

Well-built personal projects will help you land interviews and jobs, so make sure to put in the effort!

It is a great course, the only reason I rated this 4 stars instead of 5, is because of how much time I actually did have to use Boots to understand important things that the course did not cover. In the end, going through the review at the end of the course was a breeze because of the understanding I was able to gain.

AWESOME, I personally enjoyed a lot the gamifications of the course and since I play videogames, it's reasonable to assume this makes it more relatable and easier to imagine in which scenarios you apply these solutions and knowledge, beatiful course!
